Unfortunately it does not. It causes unnecessary bloat. Take 
this for example:

void foo (T) (T t);

foo(new Foo);
foo(new Bar);

This will generate two functions, even though the machine code 
is exactly the same for both.

If the machine code is the same, the function can be merged by 
the optimizer.
